Heh, I pulled the same trick again in another draft. I was running u/w, and the guy had a pretty bomb and removal heavy deck, and I lost the first game. I sided out all my stuff and shoved in 40 forest and 1 Lost in the Wood, and got him game 2. I was debating if I should go for the same trick again in game 3, but he might try to deck me out this time by adding a few extra card, so I shoved in another 5 forest, and got him again.

After the game, he said that was the most pointless match he has ever played.

That was what I thought. Just didn't know if there was a way to handle it without letting the opponent know since they're unlikely to continue their slow play if they know they're being watched.

You dont have to tell your opponent why you're making the judge call (though if he is purposefully stalling, he will probably figure it out). Once a judge comes over, step away from the table and talk to them privately.

Go online and check the numbers if you want, I'm giving you a sick dealio here. All these cards are in demand and easy to trade I'm just really hurting for some Stifle. I'd send first because I'm new to MOTL

Dominick

I'm expecting a chain lightning in the mail soon, and I'd toss that in for free. But you'd have to wait two more days probably. It's a $12 card

All of the above?

Almost as bad as the people trying to buy at 1/4th the price of the card, 50 card...I'll buy for 15...yea...we all would.

Either super undercut or offer loads of pointless stuff..*sighs*

If it looks like you are behind on the clock, (game 2 starts with 25 minutes left, etc) politely ask that both sides be aware of the time and play at a more reasonable speed. If he continues to play unreasonably slow, call a judge. You will be allowed to pull them aside and talk to them privately, depending on the supply of judges on hand, ask them to observe the match for intentional slow play.

I stopped reading what he offered after Time Spiral, and even that is a niche card.

People seem to think if they talk fancy you might rip yourself off *shrugs*...weird I know

No that makes perfect sense. You trade for all of his fetches, and give him all of your duals. Now your trade list is improved. You know, because you'll need to start trading for the duals once again, to fetch with the fetches.

Agreed. I can't draft mill anymore when they added DA because i don't think there is a high enough percentage of me getting more than 1 Burning Vengeance.

To be fair, he said he was "interested in" and not "for".

For would be nearly 2x the value.

Suggestions?

Not gonna be powered over or anything as well.

EDIT: I have never built a cube, but I would certainly start by looking at some general articles on the format if I were going to. They can at least give you an idea of how to balance the colors and design it so there are multiple viable archetypes for drafters.

I know noone in my play group would care, just wondering if it would be kosher.

If your playgroup is cool with it, then there should be nothing wrong with it. Just don't expect people outside of your circle to accept the use of a non-legendary general.

I think we might see them eventually, but I doubt there is any hurry. The biggest problem with them is they are too close to 5 color cards. Missing only one color doesn't really do anything to lose something thats been divided in the color pie (life gain, counterspells, burn, flying, etc). When you move to 3 colors you do lose the ability to do a few things when you lose certain colors. Tutoring becomes very hard once blue and black are gone as an example. Take away white and black and you probably aren't reanimating anything.
